Foul trouble helped to limit Tennessee's Grant Williams to five points, 11 below his average. Williams made only one of eight shots from the field.

Tennessee's last lead was 6-5. Georgia briefly led by double figures at 38-28 before a 3-pointer by Schofield started the Vols' comeback.

A tip-in by Kyle Alexander cut the Georgia lead to 51-49, but the Vols couldn't take advantage of repeated opportunities to pull even.

A three-point play by Ogbeide and a 3-pointer by Tyree Crump gave the Bulldogs a 57-51 lead. Ogbeide's tip-in of a Maten miss pushed the lead to eight points. Crump added another 3 for a 62-54 lead with 1:54 remaining.

Maten scored 11 of Georgia's first 13 points but left the game after collecting his second foul with about five minutes remaining in the half. He sat out all but a few seconds of the final five minutes as the Bulldogs saw their big lead of 21-12 shrink.

Turner and Bowden made 3-pointers to help the Vols cut into the deficit before halftime.

Schofield briefly left the game midway through the first half when he landed hard on the court after battling for a rebound.

There were delays at the start of each half, each lasting several minutes, due to shot-clock malfunctions.

Georgia: The Bulldogs continue to struggle with their backcourt play. Tennessee's man-to-man pressure had an immediate effect on Georgia's half-court offense as Georgia struggled to run plays. The Bulldogs' best success came when the guards were able to quickly pass to Maten, even if he wasn't near the basket.

TAKE A BOW

Two former Georgia standout guards were featured in promotions. J.J. Frazier bobblehead toys were given to fans, and Frazier was on hand to lead a pregame cheer. Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, now with the NBA's Los Angeles Lakers, attended the game and given a tribute during a timeout.
